TV's and Power Conditioners

[highfigh]

Keep in mind power conditioning and power stabilization are different animals. Conditioners are used to separate devices sharing the same circuit into a portion of the conditioner that deals with say digital devices and the potion dealing with analog.

The AC line coming into the conditioner separates to provide filtering to a specific device type.

Power stabilization is about maintaining “optimal” power to any device connected to that outlet.

Stabilizing the incoming power is something that needs to be addressed prior to the filters for digital or analog separation.

I personally prefer to use a conditioner but don’t recommend having a high powered sub and high power multi channel amp both connected to it if they can exceed the total load capacity of the conditioner for obvious sense!

My conditioner is rated for 15a and is connected to a dedicated 20a circuit. My sub ended up compressed when plugged into it at the same time as my 5 channel amp and other gear!

Keeping HD TVs connected to a dedicated circuit is a good practice. My projector has a dedicated circuit without a conditioner.

I did notice an audio improvement and video improvement using my conditioner when source components were connected to it.

Cleaning up the power to a Bluray or DVD player is a first line defence that usually is enough for the down the line components.

If an amp has a dedicated circuit that is usually enough to eliminate sound compression that may occur when the current draw could potentially exceed the Amperage of the rated line!

You're doing it wrong. The AV system should be on the same circuit- ALL of it.

At what SPL did you notice compression? If it was high SPL, I seriously doubt you heard anything- our ears naturally compress at high SPL and that makes small differences more difficult to notice.

Experience is gained from trial and error. It’s easy enough to overload a circuit and then remove at least one component from the circuit to regain stability.

I don’t need a text book explanation for a real audible experience just setup a system with an insufficient power supply and sit back and listen.

I know from my experience and corrected that issue with undeniable results. Your welcome to fly in from where ever you live and put my experience to your test otherwise we might as well compare apples to oranges!
